Did you ever receive the original fork?

funny you should ask. No. Well, technically yes, but it took so f#*@&@#*#ing long to arrive that I got the carbon Leader instead for the same price. I've been reading a lot of complaints about the lack of Affinity service, and am afraid that I had the same experiences. I think it took like 4 months longer than expected for the frame to arrive. Then it turned out that they forgot to send the fork with it so I had to wait another two months. The guys at affinity didn't respond to emails, or picked up the phone.

Wow. You had it way worse than I did. I had the same experience but didn't have to wait as long as you did. I waited about 3 months to get everything. I decided to post it up on pedalroom along with my story. Jason from Affinity saw my post on pedalroom and replied to it yesterday. Check my Kissena page take a look at the comments and see what people had to say including Jason from Affinity.

Hi Guys, going through and making sure everyone see that we are really sorry about issues in the past... running the two businesses was pretty hectic. We are over these issues and I can assure you the product is great and our customer service problems were nothing more than growing pains.
I'm happy to say (I know first hand) that no customer is getting poor service. If anyone needs anything please email us to info@affinitycycles.com or to jason@affinitycycles.com
happy to help or answer any questions.

Why aerospoke? :[

These frames are pretty specific to the track but of course you can take them on the road. I think a Aerospoke is perfect for this build, it will give it some strength for the roads. Ive heard that 7005 aluminum can be pretty rough on the streets so i think this might help smooth it out.
By the way, cant wait to see it done! Nice start.
